@@thespectaclefactory Yeah but I am glad McClaren is taking over it seems I do like the sportswear brands but I have heard that in the EU and UK you can get 1.9 high index lenses but they are made exclusively of glass so not suitable for sports and other risky endeavours as they sit very close to your eyes and it is more like party lenses rather than daily wear but yeah I'd be curious to get a pair done if I ever get the chance to visit you in person in the UK. Currently wearing Oakley full rim specs with 1.74 high index lenses anti reflective coating in blue. I am quite happy with this pair. Might look into getting half rim frames next.

Got my first pair of rimless glasses and they happen to be cartier wood frames. My mom is an optician and she has a client who wanted to get rid of his cartier collection and I managed to buy them at a VERY good price. He said he bought them years ago so not sure how old they are. The wood looks like it’s 3 colors. Navy on the outside, red in the inside, and sandwiched in between those two is a very light colored wood. The hardware is in platinum. I was curious so I took them to 2 authorized cartier dealers and the only info I got was that they’re real and they weren’t sure how old they are.

I have been wearing silhouette for over 20 years. The problem is that optometrist say that they can adjust them but many can’t and end up deforming the temples. So it is important to choose not a wobbly pair of temples, with right length and the right nose bridge……Otherwise this people that are suppose to adjust our temples, become our worst nightmare! Can you talk about adjusting the temples to make them fit perfectly comfortable especially on progressives like mine.??? Thanks
